After being extremely jet lagged from a long international flight, this hotel provided us with a wonderful, quiet place to rest on our first night in this exciting country. The service was good,the staff professional, the bed soft, and the room very comfortable. The only draw back was that we arrived a bit before the room was ready and had...

This is a fantastic hotel. As high a quality as you will find anywhere in the world. The manager (an Italian bloke) was a nice guy and making sure things ran smoothly at night and had some interesting stories. Will (Self assigned English name) was an excellent bar tender with some great info and advice on Burma. We also were...

A wonderful place to begin and end your Myanmar (Burma) adventure...quiet, serene and utterly relaxing in a city growing busier by the day. Pool is perfect. Rooms simple, clean, large and nice. Staff is quietly attentive. I would recommend this hotel over all others in the Yangon. (But word to the wise, don't pay retail--ask and you shall receive a...

Given the reviews, the location, and the website, I was expecting a truly 5-star international experience. The gardens are very nice and the public areas are quaint but, other than that, the Governor's Residence disappoints in almost all other ways.
The rooms are comfortable but nothing special. Don't expect a separate shower and bath, flat-screen TV, a phone next to...

We stayed here at the start and finish of a recent trip to Myanmar and loved it.
As others have said, it's a beautiful building, with some lovely design touches, in a lush, well-tended garden. The staff are friendly and helpful. You can easily while away the day by the pool or on the verandah, sipping a lime juice. But...
